What makes us irreplaceably human in the age of AI? 🤔 In this thought-provoking finale to our mini-series, CDang explores "Creativity and Intuition: The Human Skills AI Can't Replicate."

As AI generates art, writes essays, and even mimics human conversation, Christine shares a powerful personal story about trusting her intuition when data told a misleading story. When analytics showed "success" but her gut said otherwise, investigating revealed users were struggling with registration issues. Instead of just fixing technical problems, her "help me, help you" approach transformed the experience into a supportive community—even helping seniors navigate the digital world with newfound confidence.

This episode completes our journey through emotional intelligence, authentic connection, and purpose in the digital age. Tune in to explore how we can integrate human and machine intelligence for a future that enhances rather than replaces what makes us human.
